If One Uses It Lawfully

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In If One Uses It Lawfully, Matthew Ferris has provided his readers with a helpful critique of one of the most common positions regarding the Mosaic Law and the Christian. With an exegetically robust and historically conversant argument, Ferris demonstrates the weaknesses of what he calls the ‘rule of life’ view, the position that argues the Ten Commandments are the rule of life for modern Christians. Yet, Ferris’s book goes beyond just critique; he also offers a positive, Christ-centered explanation of how Christians live as a people under the headship of Christ and by the power of the Spirit.”
